I haven't been able to find anything "definitive." I'd like to point out that Sun's documents on the new features of the OS aren't all that bad. Big features include MPX/IO for multiplexing disk I/O across multiple controllers (similar to Volume Manager's vxdmp, or dynamic multipathing), a new timesharing process scheduler (on the second Software CD), IPlanet Directory Server 5.1 integrated with the OS, and a whole mess of GNU and freeware tools scattered across all of the CDs in the media kit.
